This is a newsletter from the CIES International Food Safety Conference in 2008, with quotes from participants on food safety and emphasis on why it is important to keep vigilant as individuals and corporations in food safety, despite food being vastly safer today than 30 years ago. There are photos, case studies, and a list of participants also included. Key takeaways from the conference include quality, labor standards, realizing that food quality is owned by everyone in the supply chain and that there needs to be collaboration on training, education, supplier development, and sustainability.
